Cataclysm

Historical context

Cataclysm

Cataclysm reshapes the original continents and adds playable Goblin and Worgen. Its class development differs from the preceding Wrath model.

Game context

Changed starting experiences and new race–class combinations belong to this era. The shattered world is a different story context from the original unbroken Azeroth.

Character development

The selected specialization constrains early talent spending in its primary tree. A correct calculator needs those restrictions as well as its own point budget. Cataclysm Classic is tracked separately.
